3 SE Research Statements on SE Research by INCOSE Systems engineering is an integrative discipline which, like other engineering specialties, needs vibrant research INCOSE advocates the articulation of programs in basic and applied research in Systems Engineering INCOSE supports strongly doctoral level research in Systems Engineering System Science Working Group System Science is the enabling theoretical foundations and scientific underpinnings of systems engineering that contribute to better understanding of systems engineering practice, particularly of complex systems and large-scale enterprises Conference on Systems Engineering Research (CSER)
4 AFIT SE Research All SE graduate programs require a capstone project Group projects provide integrated design team experience Thesis for Masters (12 credits, 3 qtrs) Capstone Design Project for IDE (9 credits, 3 qtrs) Capstone for Certificate (4 credits, 1 qtr) Individual Dissertation for Ph.D. students AFIT solicits research grants just like civilian institutions Resident military student tuition is paid for, but Civilian faculty are on academic year appointments (10 months), and AFIT is not budgeted for research related travel, supplies, and equipment We are cheap, but we are not free! Funding for the SE group has been growing Over $600K in 2008 Has allowed us to bring faculty from other programs onto SE projects
5 Balance Application of SE Practice with Basic SE Research AFIT SE Research Last year, the balance clearly tipped towards the applied research side Only one PhD student (our first) in dissertation research Sponsors of MS student research tend to focus more on application
6 Balance Application of SE Practice with Basic SE Research Applied Systems Engineering Research SE Capstone Projects SE Basic Research Future SE methods/ practice AFIT SE Research This year, the balance has been tipped towards more basic research More PhD students in dissertation research Greater effort to shape MS topics to address more fundamental questions
7 BASIC RESEARCH
8 Challenge Who funds Basic SE Research? National Science Foundation Funds System Science, but typically not Systems Engineering AFOSR Responsible for oversight and management of the Air Force program in basic research (6.1) Orchestrates the research program with universities, industry, other government organizations, and the AF Research Lab (AFRL) technical directorates AFOSR funding traditional science areas Aerospace and Materials Sciences Physics and Electronics Mathematics, Information and Life Sciences SE University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) New initiative, funded by OSD, NSA Award will be announced Oct 08 - Stevens Institute leading a large multiuniversity team AFIT will participate in the UARC with the Stevens-led team We invite the AF CSE advisory council to help identify SE basic research funding sources
9 AFIT Basic Research Threads A Sample of SE Basic Research at AFIT SE process improvements Modeling and evaluation of architectures Modeling cognitive processes within the DoD Architecture Framework System of Systems/ Network Centric Systems Analysis Graph Theory of Network Centric Operations Interoperability Measurement Integrated Health Monitoring Reliability models to support life cycle system design Human Systems Integration (HSI) Design Graph theoretic analysis for HSI evaluation and design Modularity in design vs. performance
10 AIR FORCE CENTER FOR SYSTEMS ENGINEERING Architecting Cognition within the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) Research Sponsor: AFRL/RH, Wright-Patterson AFB Maj David O Malley Major Jonathan Zall Problem: The design of complex, socio-technical systems requires that critical aspects of the whole integrated system be specifically defined upfront so that the implemented solution addresses human system integration (HSI) facets as well as technical system integration facets. HSI factors and constraints are not incorporated in the US Military acquisitions process until late in the process resulting in unnecessary risk incurred, cost overruns, and mission shortfalls. Method: Define the cognitive aspect of Human Factors and develop a model of cognitive and pseudo-cognitive (CPC) elements for inclusion in DoDAF via the Core Architecture Data Model (CADM). Demonstrate the efficacy of DoDAF extended with CPC model during the Joint Capabilities Integration Development System (JCIDS) process. DoDAF version 1.5 Cognitive Elements CADM with CPC Extension DoDAF version 1.5 Operational View-5 Fundamental Cognitive Tasks New Operational View incorporating CPC tasks HUMAN COGNITION Results: Standardized means for incorporating elements of human cognitions (Environments, Roles, Tasks, Inputs and Outputs) Accurate solution trade space constraints with traceable manpower, personnel, and training requirements Decreased cost, risk, and mission shortfalls of final solution Provide foothold for all other elements of HSI within the JCIDS process
11 Introduction Literature Review & Analysis Interoperability Measurement Method Application Conclusion INTEROPERABILITY MEASUREMENT UNIQUE & SUBSTANTIAL CONTRIBUTION This research presents an inaugural general method of quantitatively measuring the collaborative and confrontational interoperability of a heterogeneous set of systems The method: 1. Accepts all system types (e.g., coalitions, technology, organizations, cultures, etc.) 2. Accepts all interoperability types (e.g., enterprise, joint, semantic, technical, etc.) 3. Describes interoperability in the context of an operational process 4. Provides for higher precision of measurement 5. Introduces confrontational interoperability and relates it to operational effectiveness 6. Accommodates all types of interoperability characteristics 7. Capitalizes upon existing architecture data 10

31 Research Definitions Basic Research Basic research is systematic study directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications towards processes or products in mind. It includes all scientific study and experimentation directed toward increasing fundamental knowledge and understanding in those fields of the physical, engineering, environmental, and life sciences related to long-term national security needs. It is farsighted high payoff research that provides the basis for technological progress. Refs: Office of Management and Budget Circular A-11 on budget regulations, Federal Acquisition Regulations, DOD's Financial Management Regulation (DOD R)
32 Research Definitions Applied Research Applied research is systematic study to understand the means to meet a recognized and specific need. It is a systematic expansion and application of knowledge to develop useful materials, devices, and systems or methods. It may be oriented, ultimately, toward the design, development, and improvement of prototypes and new processes to meet general mission area requirements. Applied research may translate promising basic research into solutions for broadly defined military needs, short of system development.
